We've been busy as always.
Took a weekend trip to Arkansas
Ben is doing well in run club - on Tuesday he ran 3 miles (up
From his normal 2.25-2.50)
He lost a tooth today! (reminder to
The tooth fairy to show up tonight!)
The Halloween Costumes are close to being complete! Huge relief!
Cloudy is having issues with stationary items... Ie the floor, wall, tables. The kid looks like he has been in a few fights.

Saturday morning Ben had a double header. When the first game started only 9 kids had showed up. Ben ended up playing 3 quarters of the first game and the entire second game.

Afterwards we were all famished, so Peter took us to a new taco joint followed by Celebrate Roanoke!
We stopped by for a "few minutes" to "check it out" "not expecting much". We ended up staying HOURS.

Cloudy thought riding the bus was the best part!

At the showdown on Main st, Cloudy FLIPPED out when they started "shooting"

Some local wood craftsmen were exhibiting their skills, and GIVING the cars away. HAPPY BOYS

Ben is NOT my child, I was chanting "when I grow up I want to be an F-16 pilot" and he was
